I do the Power90 workout with my wife six mornings a week before going to work, then I have a treadmill desk at work where I walk all day as I code, read, surf, post on /. If we have a really early or hectic day ahead we move the workout to before dinner. If we're sick or injured in some way we modify the workout a bit. The big secret is not to push hard, just show up and keep moving. The workout is for cardio and strength, the treadmill desk wiped out any aches and pains and bad posture from hunching over and typing for 20 odd years.

Give yourself three months of drill instructor attitude to get in the habit and aim at 3 years to measure your results, just to avoid any short-term thinking. That worked great for us, and now it's just natural to get up and do it.

That's pretty much all you need.

I sat for 18 years. Now I have a treadmill desk at work. It's done wonders for my legs and posture. I'm not sore and hunched over.

But which company would actually build such a device?

Amazon is a possibility if they don't want to have all of their eggs in the Android basket. They've proven they can manage manufacturing, and no one does distribution better.

And case NIGHTMARE GREEN.

My wife and I actually run two websites, one for local artists, artisans and crafters and another for local service businesses, so people in our county can gift shop locally online.

To support your argument that Hip Hop follows a long tradtion:

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!

Beowulf (Prologue)

or

Yo! I know you heard of the Scyldings already
When battle went down, the kings were deadly, swords steady
Each one did whatever he said he
Would do, and to grab onto more glory was ready.
Scyld started their line, looked mighty fine
Just a baby found a-bobbin' in a boat
Grew great so kings gave him silver and gold

The Beowulf Rap

Loved the original, and this version is fun. The lights on the monome were a show all by themselves.

No discussion of creating simulated universes is complete without a reference to Forth. After all, what's the very first language you bootstrap on a new architecture so you can get right to work?

And ColorForth changed my thinking about code in ways I can't begin to list. Interestingly, Chuck Moore lives a few minutes from me.

Even better.

A better name would be Carpe PAC.
